Safe Harbor and Non-GAAP Measures Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words aim, anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, forecast, intend, likely, outlook, plan, potential, projection, continue, goal, objective, opportunity, near-term, long-term, assumption, project, guidance, target, trend, seek, can, could, may, should, would, will, the negatives thereof and other words and terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions; they are not guarantees of performance. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. Although we believe that our assumptions made in connection with the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that the assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. Factors that could contribute to these risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the factors described in Risk Factors in our 10-K. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. In addition, all forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. We undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise other than as required under the federal securities laws. Non-GAAP Measures To evaluate our performance, we monitor a number of key indicators at the consolidated level and, in certain cases, at the segment level. As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ) with certain non-gaap financial measurements that are used my management, and which we believe are useful to investors, as supplemental operational measurements to evaluate our financial performance. These measurements should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAPbased measurements, and such measurements may not be comparable to similarly-titled measurements reported by other companies. Rather, these measurements should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial measurement. See Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in our press release issued today. A reconciliation of non-gaap measures can be found at the back of the deck. 2 2
